PEPFAR's annual planning process is done either at the country (COP) or regional level (ROP).
PEPFAR's programs are implemented through implementing partners who apply for funding based on PEPFAR's published Requests for Applications.
Since 2010, PEPFAR COPs have grouped implementing partners according to an organizational type. We have retroactively applied these classifications to earlier years in the database as well.
Also called "Strategic Areas", these are general areas of HIV programming. Each program area has several corresponding budget codes.
Specific areas of HIV programming. Budget Codes are the lowest level of spending data available.
Expenditure Program Areas track general areas of PEPFAR expenditure.
Expenditure Sub-Program Areas track more specific PEPFAR expenditures.
Object classes provide highly specific ways that implementing partners are spending PEPFAR funds on programming.
Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more
Beneficiary Expenditure data identify how PEPFAR programming is targeted at reaching different populations.
Sub-Beneficiary Expenditure data highlight more specific populations targeted for HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.

As part of EP's focus on supporting sustainable quality clinical services, EP resources will leverage USAID
CSH investments in improving post-graduate medical training. Effective clinical education requires the
extensive presence of physicians who are experienced and effective clinical educators. Consistent bedside
teaching and supervision does not occur for the post-graduate students in Rwanda. This is due to the
insufficient numbers of Rwandan clinical physicians and clinical educators, the focus of current expatriate
physicians on addressing the overwhelming clinical needs in providing patient care, and the multiple
academic responsibilities of medical school faculty.
The University of Colorado (UC) will help improve the current state of clinical education by seconding a
family medicine faculty member with demonstrated qualifications in clinical medicine, clinical medical
education of undergraduates and postgraduates, medical education program development, and faculty
development, to provide extensive practical teaching, post-graduate supervision, and assistance with
development of the Family Medicine program. The breadth and depth of family medicine provides the
greatest opportunity to impact the largest number of post graduate programs. On a rotating basis, UC will
participate in all post graduate staff meetings at all teaching hospitals, ward rounds and consultations at all
teaching hospitals to reinforce interactive teaching and supervision of clinical skills, evidence-based
medicine and clinical decision-making. UC will also support the enhancement and expansion of access to
current evidence-based medical information for post graduate students, faculty and staff physicians as
necessary for appropriate patient care and education of post graduate students. UC will also assist the
NUR Medical School and its teaching hospitals in integrating HIV/AIDS into post-graduate curricula and the
sustainable development of its current post-graduate programs in general pediatrics, general internal
medicine, obstetrics and gynecology.
This activity will complement undergraduate medical education activities funded by CDC, GTZ and other
donors. These activities reflect the ideas presented in the Rwanda EP five-year strategy and support the
GOR's national Human Resources for Health Strategic Plan.
